I was forunate enough to pick up an old Cummins C112 drill press this weekend for a song.
The only thing wrong with it is cosmetic: all of the chrome plated or steel aprts have surface rust on them. I'm slowly taking these parts off and getting the rust off then putting a light coat of 30 weight on them to keep rust from coming back.
Short of painting all of this, will the oil coating be ok or should I go to the extreme and put the buffing wheel on the grinder and go at it?
